Outpatient Surgery: If you are scheduled as an outpatient, you should have an adult with you to take you home and be responsible for your car for the first twenty-four hours after surgery. Your caregiver will need to be able to drive you home and take care of you for a day after the surgery. Inpatient Surgery: If you are scheduled for surgery followed by a hospital stay overnight, you may come alone to the hospital. However, you will need an adult to drive you home and take care of you the day after you are discharged.
